Hasroun, north of Lebanon

Nestled in the Qadisha valley with spectacular views, and in close proximity to the majestic cedars of Lebanon, Villa Chamoun is an enchanted guesthouse retreat in the mountains, with the charm and tempo of the 1960s. Built as a family home in 1965, it was restored & reimagined to celebrate and honours its history.

It truly took a village to bring it back to its former glory; the amazing artisans and crafts people of Hasroun in concert with renown Lebanese designers to deliver on a vision. Villa Chamoun is equally a social project that honours the people of the village and their skills to ensure a sustainable future.
